German Firm Veba Unveils
Plans for Big-Board Listing

DUESSELDORF, Germany -- Veba AG, one of the biggest companies in Germany, Wednesday announced that it will list shares on the New York Stock Exchange, making it the third German company to do so.

Veba, a utility-based conglomerate active in telecommunications, already is a favorite German stock for American investors. By making its shares more liquid, a U.S. listing could boost the company's stock price.
